Started on Saturday afternoon. Wove again today to finish. Another run at four selvedges, and this one was a bit easier. Gotta keep practicing. #AndeanBackstrap #KeepWeaving #AlwaysAStudent

Darach Shire 50th Anniversary - I did a sweeping display of hand spun yarns (wool yarns and cotton), hand dyed yarns, and several weaving techniques all from my studies of Andean Backstrap weaving (from the Andes in Peru, primarily the Cusco region), including the 4-selvedge band I finished last night. People's Choice 1st place, the cloak clasp and the pomegranates pin as my prizes. #MySCA #Caid #DarachShire #KeepWeaving #KeepSpinning #AlwaysAStudent

Table covered with woven bands and straps and current projects, a basket filled with colorful balls of yarn, and a basket of white cotton - carded and spun.One cloak clasp with three circles of Celtic knotwork, a pin with three pomegranates, and a charm pin made from black/white diagonal striped ribbon, a black bead and a white bead, a charm that says 50, an oak leaf charm, and a collection of acorns charm

Finished this four selvedge Tanka Ch'oro this evening. Needle weaving the gap is still REALLY hard to do. #FourSelvedge #AndeanBackstrap #KeepLearning #AlwaysAStudent

Collage of four photos: Two embroidery needles holding open the two sheds. Needles and heddles removed with just a few rows left to weave. The finished band in my hand. And the finished whole band pinned on a towel to see the full length.

I decided "well, since I am not still a five year old, then I guess I know how I have to finish this Tanka Ch'oro" #IYKYK #FourSelvedges #AndeanBackstrap #KeepWeaving #AlwaysAStudent

A narrow woven band has an X pattern in purple close to the camera. Two shed sticks are balanced in the weaving. A bundle of blue threads and a loop of yellow yarn are stationed in the unwoven warp threads. And at the far end, the patterned X and O in purple and yellow receed away to the anchor point.

Also, ich atme noch.
Bewegen geht auch noch.

Hüftgelenk hat alles mitgemacht.
Wade jammert auf hohem Niveau.
Ich hab Muskelkater im oberen Rücken und den Schultern.

Ratet, was heute der Fokus ist?
Hips, Shoulders & Backbends 😩.

Nostalgia is exhausting.

#VCFSW is held at my old alma mater, and it's my first time setting foot there in over half a decade.

Gotta tell ya, the feels were hittin' me MEGA HARD today.

I walked through a lot of the old buildings and hallways I used to haunt not quite a decade ago.

Ha. That's so Linux. Amazing "new" features hiding in plain sight for the past 20 years.

Taking a social clowning masterclass this weekend. Ironically, I expect to end up fried and antisocial afterwards on account of using that muscle so much.
